Patient Experience  Seminars & Support Groups
Pre-Operative Educational Seminars
The Columbia University Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery invites you to attend one of our pre-operative educational seminars, either on-site or online.
This seminar is open to those interested in exploring weight loss surgery options.
Due to limited space, registration is required for the on-site seminar.
All patients considering weight loss surgery at our Center are required to attend a seminar prior to scheduling their first appointment.
